Thanks wazza, it did have me pretty stumped. I read about ibt and avx needing w7 sp1 installed. I had sp1 installed, but due to the power cuts whilst downloading it. Sure enough, one of the cuts happened during downloading it. My win 7 disc is an early version without sp1. Hence i was able to uninstall it as opposed to a fresh windows install. Only thing letting my system down now is this rather crap 5400 rpm 2.5" laptop drive. God i miss an ssd for os, my boot time is measured in minutes now. My first priority was to get an i7 3770k, now it's to get a new ssd.

Regarding pushing anymore, i might have a stab at it. Whack the vcore up a tad and see how it go's. With 32m being a single core bench, it should be grand with the 3570k. Though tomorrow, i might see if i can fire up a result on my second rig, (i7 930) with 1600mhz reaper at 7-7-7-24. I think i have a bios profile saved on it for 4.2ghz.
 
yh it'll be interesting to see how it performs with the new memory on your z77 and with your 930 cpu aswell

I grabbed me an 840 pro when there was a deal on,its a fast drive,my little 60gb corsair isn't bad though

I think a delidded 3770k would suit you best,you could sell your old chip and claw some money back
 
Id be more than happy to buy a sh delidded i7, (save me the work lol). Been researching ssd's lately. And the 840 pro stands out the best, good read and write times. The crucial m4 looked good, but the write speeds are very low.
 
ive owned an m4,dont be put off by the low write speeds,it felt very quick,its to do with compressable data,sandforce are quicker so looks faster

the Samsung feels the fastest out of the bunch to me tho,i wouldn't mind scalping another i7,i was very reluctant to do it at first but now im glad I did

next thing on my to do list is fit some silent 140mm fans,the stock fractal fans are too noisy for me,i like silence
 
Yes, with ssd's, read speed is the most important factor. Though ill need a bigger capacity drive than a 120/8gb. Want to add the i7 then another gtx 670 wf. But it will be hard to find another wf that clocks as good as the one i have. Currently second highest 670 in the 3d mark firestrike benchmark here on ocuk. Stock bios, the leading card from jayster is running a mdded bios. Thoyght about flashing the card, but tbh it would be for epeen only. It does what i need very well.
 
New chip in hand that does 32mb at nearly 6.9ghz I expect some improvements over the next week or so.

On Maximus V use Super Pi Tweak in Bios and XTreme Tweaking enabled for instant improvements.
 
I've been disabling Super Pi and Xtreme tweaking because I thought they would increase stability and thought that was cheating a bit so my scores are with it disabled hehe :P

When you're at your limit, that's it unfortunately :(

Thing is individually my cpu clock and my ram clocks work absolutely fine it is just marrying them together I think it's possibly a voltaging issue, rather than clock settings. Isn't there a way to take a BIOS settings read out like from a saved profile?

Sub 5 minutes definitely. Insane score, go for 7 giggles! :eek:

edit// horrorxpunk, go for the fastest CPU core you can achieve, THEN start low with your memory and push that as high as it'll go.
 
Unfortunately computer refuses to boot into windows 8 @ 5.4Ghz :P I just get a black screen 5.3 is near perfectly stable and the voltages are a little lower than what others have used. I will have to use 2000 memory because the timings I get at 2000 give me around 34,000 efficiency score... or I may just buy some 2666Mhz Dominators haha :P

See how far you can push into 5.3GHz with the BLCK :D

would be good to see how the new haswells stack up in this benchmark

I think it will be common to see them running at 5GHz, golden chips even higher so... JEALOUS. :(

From the AMA Reddit chat with an Intel Engineer:

As a person who just bought an Ivy-bridged based system, is there anything you can tell me to convince myself to save up for a haswell or broadwell system?

What do you usually do with your system? If you like to overclock, Haswell is worth it (can't tell you why but read the Haswell Anandtech preview very carefully for buried treasure). On-die graphics is improving quite a bit as well. If you're into energy efficiency or even more graphics, Broadwell. I think the tech community will be very pleasantly surprised with Broadwell. But I'm biased, so we'll just going to have to prove it the hard way.

VRM is on-die I think, so that will help a ton with overclocking.

He also said that they have working broadwell etc chips already, and that Haswell is stuff they worked on over a year and a half ago. :eek:

I normally only get 101 - 102 at that ratio, I can get about 104 at about 5.1.

No more work on the system this week though I am going to wait to delid and install an EK-Elite cpu block. The naked ivybridge kit is nice and cheap :D
 
No because I am going to update the water block soon so I didn't see it being necessary. Good advice I don't want to use a razor I will probably end up chopping my hand off.

Two questions

MX-4 or Prolimatech PK-3 for the die? I have both to hand.
Suggestions for a good set of 2 x 4 GB or 2 x 8 GB ram sets that are 2400Mhz XMP. Looking for the best for Pi calculations obviously :P
 
Neither of them, Liquid Ultra or Pro gives the best drops. Also Samsung RAM, overclocks to 2400 CL10 I think.

Mine run at 2226 9-11-11-21-1T-88 with tight seconds and thirds. BLK is 104.4.
 
actually its pretty hard to get 2400mhz out of the Samsung green,i havnt managed it,maybe 2300mhz tops

the more expensive kits would do it though
 
I am thinking about Dominator Platinums I like the Corsair DIMMs and I am used to clocking them now; should have no problem pushing an additional 400+ Mhz out of them at least.
